A while ago I introduced the name Machinefabriek via two pretty interesting 3"CDR releases (see Vital Weekly 446) and now it's time to present the next three. 'Bricks & Pieces' is what it says: small bricks and small pieces. Sometimes Machinefabriek (nom de plume de Rutger Zuydervelt from The Netherlands) plays introspective tunes on guitar and rhythmbox, but there is also noise from toys (real toys that is) or vaguely sounding atmospheric pieces of TV sounds and piano playing. With twenty-nine tracks over twenty-one minutes this is scattered all over the place. Also the cover seems to be a hasty job.
